Marcello Sonatas for Treble Rec Vol1 HM

The recorder sonatas presented by Benedetto Marcello (16861739) are taken from a collection of 12 sonatas, printed for the first time in 1712 by G. Sale in Venice. That same year, the 26-year old Marcello became a member of the Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna. In 1711 he had already been elected a judge in the Council of Forty in Venice.

These sonatas were composed by a man who already at the time, but also throughout his later life, had to divide between music and strenuous official duties, and who always called himself a simple Dilettante della musica.
